Finished homes beside the Causeway, from studios to four bedrooms

R&F Princess Cove Phase 2 Johor Bahru

Finished in 2024, this freehold phase of R&F Princess Cove sits on Jalan Tanjung Puteri, where the Causeway lands in Johor Bahru. The CCC was issued in March 2024 and owners took their keys from April. Homes range from 468 sq ft (studio) up to 1,471 sq ft (four bedrooms), with prices starting at RM690,000.

You do not have to imagine this one. Phase 2 was certified complete on 19 March 2024 and handed over on 30 April 2024, so a viewing shows you the real corridor, finishes and outlook. It has 3,724 homes across 8.9 freehold acres, rising to 50 floors, with six homes per floor sharing four lifts, fewer than two homes per lift. Sizes start with 468 sq ft studios and reach 1,471 sq ft for the four-bedroom H1; every home includes one parking bay. Good for a Singapore commuter or city worker who wants keys now; less suited to a two-car family. For foreign buyers, Johor’s minimum is RM1,000,000, and units at that price or higher are open with approval by the State Authority; on a resale, the 3% levy is worked out on the higher of the JPPH value and the SPA price. Below RM1,000,000, a foreigner may buy only a serviced apartment still sold by the developer, again needing State Authority approval and carrying a minimum levy of RM50,000; resale units under that price are closed to foreigners.

What You Get at R&F Princess Cove Phase 2

A finished building by the Causeway, with short lift queues and a broad choice of unit sizes.

Already Built and Handed Over

No waiting on construction here. The CCC carries the date 19 March 2024 and the keys went out on 30 April 2024, so you can inspect the finished building before you commit.

Six Homes, Four Lifts a Floor

Six apartments share a floor and four lifts serve them. That is fewer than two homes per lift, a low ratio for a building of 50 floors.

Seventeen Layouts to Choose From

For singles, studios of 468–548 sq ft and a one-bedroom V6 (544 sq ft); two-bedroom types between 767 and 933 sq ft; three-bedroom types between 1,074 and 1,181 sq ft; the dual-key E (1,317 sq ft) and the four-bedroom H1 (1,471 sq ft).

Level 8 Pool Deck

On Level 8 you will find an infinity pool, a main pool, a wading pool and a playground, along with a sunshine lawn, a lounge, landscaped gardens a leisure track and the Marina Garden Walk.

A Township at Your Door

Around the towers, the wider development brings R&F Mall, a cineplex, a marina boulevard, a Hyatt hotel with a Grade A office tower, and the opera house named after Permaisuri Zarith Sofiah, so errands and evenings out stay close.

RM0.42 psf Monthly Fee

Maintenance is RM0.42 per sq ft a month, plus a further 10% of that for the sinking fund. Every unit comes with one free car park; a second car needs its own arrangement.

R&F Princess Cove Phase 2 Layout Plans

There are seventeen layouts. The smallest is a 468 sq ft studio and the largest the four-bedroom H1 at 1,471 sq ft, with most homes being two- or three-bedders between 767 and 1,181 sq ft. Six plans appear below; ask me for others, such as the Seaview R1 studios or Types G, N and M1.

Holding R&F Princess Cove Phase 2 month to month

For the starting-price unit of R&F Princess Cove Phase 2, at RM690,000, a 90% loan of RM621,000 repaid over 35 years at 4% a year, my example rate, costs about RM2,750 a month. The entry unit here, 468 sq ft, carries a service charge of about RM197 a month, and the sinking fund adds RM20. Budget roughly RM2,967 a month, not yet counting assessment tax or quit rent.

Tell me which unit you are considering on WhatsApp, +60 17-880 2526, and I will work it out for that unit.

The 4% is an example rate rather than a quote, and what you sign for is priced unit by unit and floor by floor. For a different loan, scale it up or down with the table below.

Work out your own instalment

The bank's formula is monthly payment = P × r ÷ [1 − (1 + r)−n]. P is the amount borrowed, r is the yearly rate ÷ 12, and n is the number of monthly payments: 420 over 35 years.

Most new home loans float. The rate is the Standardised Base Rate (SBR) plus a spread the bank sets for you, and the SBR tracks the Overnight Policy Rate, which Bank Negara has held at 2.75% from 9 July 2025. At 4.5% instead of 4%, that RM621,000 loan costs about RM189 more a month, and a 30-year term instead of 35 adds about RM215. If this would be your third or later home loan, the bank can lend at most 70% of the property's value.

For a RM650,000 loan at 4% over 35 years, take 6.5 × RM443: about RM2,880 a month.

Service charge and sinking fund

The service charge at R&F Princess Cove Phase 2 is RM0.42 a month for each square foot, and the sinking fund is billed on top of it. Under the Strata Management Act 2013, the sinking fund is at least 10% of the service charge and is kept for major repairs.

Across the 125 high-rise projects I track, the middle figure is RM0.40 per sq ft (sinking fund added before comparing). R&F Princess Cove Phase 2 is above it, about RM29 a month more on the smallest unit than a building charging the middle figure.
